Answer

Slope = ∞

Step-by-step explanation

For a straight line, the slope of the line can be obtained when the coordinates of two points on the line are known. If the coordinates are (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), the slope is given as


Slope=m=\frac{Change\text{ in y}}{Change\text{ in x}}=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

For this question,

(x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are (3, -1) and (3, 4)


\text{Slope = }(4-(-1))/(3-3)=(4+1)/(0)=(5)/(0)=\infty

Hope this Helps!!!
